Abstract:Članek na podlagi analize neobjavljenih arhivskih virov, ki jih hrani Britanski državni arhiv (The National Archives) v Londonu, in najbolj relevantne znanstvene literature obravnava pogled britanske diplomacije na zaznavanje odcepitvenih tendenc v Republiki Sloveniji med letoma 1988 in 1990 ter na plebiscit, izvedenim 23. decembra 1990. Britanska diplomacija je izpostavljala slovensko naklonjenost decentralizaciji Jugoslavije in njenemu preoblikovanju na konfederalni osnovi, s čimer je simpatizirala tudi sama. Jeseni 1990 je britanska zunanja politika poznala osnovne informacije o obeh plebiscitnih pobudah, a jima ni posvečala pretirane pozornosti. Aktivnosti v Republiki Sloveniji je obravnavala v kontekstu dogajanja v jugoslovanski državi.

Title:Il punto di vista della diplomazia britannica sulle aspirazioni secessioniste slovene alla fine degli anni Ottanta e sul plebiscito sloveno
Abstract:L’articolo, basandosi sull’analisi delle fonti d’archivio non pubblicate, conservate presso l’archivio nazionale britannico di Londra (The National Archives), e dei lavori storiografici più rilevanti, esamina il punto di vista della diplomazia britannica in merito alla percezione delle tendenze secessioniste nella Repubblica di Slovenia tra il 1988 e il 1990 e riguardo al plebiscito del 23 dicembre 1990. La diplomazia della Gran Bretagna aveva posto l’accento sulla propensione slovena per la decentralizzazione della Jugoslavia e la sua trasformazione confederale, auspicata anche dalla diplomazia britannica. Nell’autunno del 1990, la diplomazia di Londra era a conoscenza delle informazioni essenziali relative alle due iniziative plebiscitarie, ma non vi prestò particolare attenzione. Considerava infatti le attività nella Repubblica di Slovenia nel contesto più ampio degli avvenimenti che riguardavano tutto lo Stato jugoslavo.Drawing on an analysis of unpublished archival records held by The National Archives and the most relevant scholarly literature, this article examines the perception and stance of British diplomacy regarding the emergence of secessionist tendencies in the Republic of Slovenia between 1988 and 1990 and the plebiscite held on 23 December 1990. Although the influence of the United Kingdom in global politics had declined after the end of World War II, it remained a significant player in international affairs. It was well informed about the dynamics in Yugoslavia, particularly by the British Embassy in Belgrade. From 1989, British diplomatic records reflected growing attention to the emergence of Slovenian separatism. However, British diplomacy did not assess that the northernmost Yugoslav republic would ultimately pursue independence from Yugoslavia. Particular attention was given to the Republic of Slovenia’s preference for decentralization and the transformation of the state into a confederal structure – an approach that was met with a degree of sympathy within British diplomatic circles. In the autumn of 1990, British diplomats were familiar with the general information regarding both plebiscite initiatives and the implementation of one of them, but they did not pay it close attention. Developments in the Republic of Slovenia were considered within the broader context of events in Yugoslavia. The consequences of the Slovenian plebiscite appeared unclear to British diplomats. Although British diplomats expected that the majority of eligible voters would support the independence of the Republic of Slovenia, they could not predict whether this would result in Slovenia’s secession or if would be associated with the other republics on a confederal basis. The notes and assessments of British diplomacy concerning developments in Yugoslavia, as well as those related to the Slovenian plebiscite – despite occasional factual inaccuracies – were generally accurate.
